: "If a little DEET is good; is a lot of DEET better? Not necessarily. In tests done by the Army, repellents with 30-40% DEET worked twice as well as repellents with 75% DEET."

I'll stick with this stuff I picked up at Ed Shirleys. It works better than anything else I've tried. Everyone is always asking to borrow it when they see I'm not being eaten alive. It's a stronger concentration than most but you don't have to use a lot of it before the little pests begin to leave you alone.

Thanks for providing the link.
